THE Age dominated the annual Media Peace Awards presented
last night by the United Nations Association of Australia.

Karen Kissane received the best print award for her Insight
feature "Honour Killing in the Suburbs" (right), on the death of
domestic abuse victim Julie Ramage. Kissane, whose article explored
the provocation defence and gender, was also cited for increasing
understanding of women's rights. Photographer Jason South was named
best photojournalist for images from the Boxing Day tsunami
(left).

A Sunday Age team  Claire Miller, Clay Lucas, Matt
Davidson, Rebecca Carmichael, Craig Sillitoe and Cathryn Tremain
 was also recognised for promoting multicultural issues in a
series on ethnic diversity in Melbourne.
